Are the instructors fully qualified?
All our instructors have enhanced DBS certificates, safeguarding certificates and hold teaching licences awarded by highly qualified Japanese masters. All instructors and student members are insured.
Will I need to buy a uniform and equipment to start my training?
No, after your free trial, we offer a Special Introctory Offer (that includes a Karate suit)
Do I need a good level of fitness and flexibility to train?
Not especially. As long as you enjoy a reasonable level of fitness, regular training at your own pace will gradually improve your fitness levels and flexibility. If you have concerns regarding your health and suitability to martial arts, seek the advice of your doctor before commencing training.
How often should I train?
We recommend twice weekly for students aged 7+, though many young children start their martial arts journey to black belt with just one class per week.
How long does it take to reach black belt?
Typically it takes between 5 to 7 years, but this depends on the student and their level of training.
How often do students test for belts?
We hold quarterly belt testing days, normally on Sundays.
My child is very shy and lacks confidence.
We have seen so many shy children develop confidence and self-belief through regular Karate training. Students develop at their own pace, and their confidence will build as they progress through the belts.
